With Sport mode engaged, the transmission will shift up at higher rpm in first and second gears, and will
also shift down at higher rpm for more immediate engine response during acceleration and deceleration.
pg. 98 All Wheel Drive - option
All Wheel Drive (AWD) - general information
Your Volvo can be equipped with permanent All Wheel Drive, which means that power is distributed
automatically between the front and rear wheels. Under normal driving conditions, most of the engine's
power is directed to the front wheels. However, if there is any tendency for the front wheels to spin, an
electronically controlled coupling distributes power to the wheels that have the best traction.
Tire dimensions
Volvo recommends that you always drive on tires of the same brand, size, construction (radial), tread
pattern, load-, speed-, traction-, temperature-, and treadwear rating. Never drive on mixed tires, except
for brief periods when the temporary spare tire is in use.
Always use properly inflated tires of correct dimensions. Tire size and inflation pressures are shown on
the tire inflation pressure placards, located on the driver's side B-pillar (the structural member at the side
of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door on
Canadian models.
Temporary Spare
The temporary spare tire is for temporary, low-speed, short-distance use only. Replace it with a full-
sized tire as soon as possible. Do not drive on the temporary spare at speeds above 50 m.p.h. (80km/h)
or for distances greater than 50 miles (80 km).
Never install snow chains on a temporary spare.

Four-C
The FOUR-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept) active chassis system, consisting of Comfort
and Sport modes, is available as an option.

modes. The buttons for controlling these driving modes are located in center instrument panel, above the
ventilation system panel vents, see the illustration in the right column. These buttons can be pressed at
any time to change driving modes. An indicator light in the selected button will come on to indicate the
driving mode that is currently selected.
